Like virtually every other privately held company, NeXT does not make detailed  
financial statements available to the general public. All you can get is what  
NeXT has chosen to announce in press releases, etc., concerning sales,  
expenditures and profits. When NeXT actually choose to go public, then they'll  
need to issue a detailed financial report, but don't expect to see it a day  
sooner.  ..bruce..

P.S.  This is not only standard business practice, it's good business practice.
